More Options

a. Modify Device Name – When you tap this option, a pop-up window will appear allowing you to type in the name you would
liketorenamethedeviceto.It’susuallyagoodideatonameitwiththeroomitislocatedand/orthexture/applianceitis
controlling so you remember easily when you own multiple devices.
i.Forexample:
  1.OfceLamp
2. Bedroom Lamp
3. Kitchen Crockpot
4. Outside Decorations

device when contacting customer service.

to group them together.
ii. This allows to you to schedule 1 set of programs for all the devices within that group, rather than having to do multiple

askquestionsontheapporWestekwiSmartproducts.
